Here's why your meds cost so much

In the March 4 Time magazine article "Why Our Medical Bills Are Killing Us," it was shown that $94 billion could be saved by Medicare if Congress would allow Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate the price of drugs.

But because the pharmaceutical companies, like the NRA, have a stranglehold on members of Congress, this was kept out of the Affordable Care Act, and Americans continue to pay twice as much as other countries for the same medications.

So the next time you go to get that prescription filled and have to pay those inflated prices to get your meds, you can thank your own congressman.
